The source of the criticism (not the study!)

Council for Secular Humanism

Basically an anti religion lobbying group that in this instance leverages a straw man about money to undermine the tax exemption. That is not why they get a break. The constitution is.

Who defines the appropriate salary for a clergyman or woman? Can the critics tell me exactly how much is too much? Otherwise it’s just broad brushing all religions organizations into the same accusations of religion being nothing more than a financial scam.

My word that web site is just based on anti religious fervor, anger and hatred. I agree completely with Pres. Kennedy. I don’t recall a peep out of him about tax exemptions being wrong for religious org.
